Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded spaghetti squash
  • 1 tbsp oil (olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare the pan for cooking the squash patties.
  2. Remove moisture: Press the water and moisture out of the shredded spaghetti squash using paper towels or by wringing it out in a clean kitchen towel to ensure the patties hold together and become crispy.
  3. Form patties: Take about 2 tablespoons of the drained squash and press firmly between your palms to form small, compact patties.
  4. Cook patties: Gently place the patties on the warmed skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side. Flip only once to achieve a nice browned and crispy texture.
  5. Drain and serve: Transfer the cooked patties to paper towels to drain any excess oil, then serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the spaghetti squash to prevent soggy patties.
  • You can season the squash with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs before forming patties for added flavor.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low-carb, making it a great option for special diets.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to avoid the patties sticking and to get a crispy crust.
